Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician

"Hey, have you heard?" It's April, and in the garden full of flowers and flowers, the peonies in the garden are blooming enthusiastically. The green leaves and green branches are dotted with gorgeous flowers, and they bloom brilliantly under the meticulous care of the gardener. Incomparable.

"I heard that my lord has accepted the dowry from the Chu family, and has decided to marry the young lady to the only son of the Chu family, the [-]-year-old son." Two young maids walked in the garden with potted plants in their arms, exchanging ideas about what they had just done. Hearing the news, who knew that when he turned around, a red wall stood in front of him.

The servant girl didn't pay attention and almost bumped into the red wall. Fortunately, the companion next to her reacted and gave her a hand. Before the servant girl had time to thank her, the person in front of her was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Miss, I made a mistake. I almost offended you because I don't have eyes." The maid hastily pleaded guilty.

Hong Qiang is actually a person, she is wearing a red skirt, her skin is like white snow, her face is peach blossom and jade, she has a graceful figure, she is seen from behind, just by her figure and temperament, one can tell that she is a beautiful beauty.

It was Xia Xueyao who came, and she stared at the maid in front of her with a slightly cold gaze. In the past few years, she had opened up her face, stood there, and compared the peony flowers beside her.In addition, the clothes and makeup are carefully selected on weekdays. In today's capital, who knows that the lady of the Duke's Mansion is the number one beauty in the capital?

The beauty is now full of anger, her chest slightly shrugged, pointing at the servant girl tremblingly said: "You just said... I'm going to marry Chu Qixun?! Who did you listen to?"

The servant girl lowered her head in panic: "Young Master Chu brought a matchmaker and the dowry over early this morning. Your Excellency has received Young Master Chu and has accepted the dowry. Now everyone in the house knows about it."

Xia Xueyao jumped her feet angrily, and roared angrily, "Why should he accept it for me!!"

The more Xia Xueyao thought about it, the angrier she became, the more she felt that her brother was a jerk, the wind was blowing under her feet, and outsiders saw a red shadow passing by, and when she came to the hall, she found no one, so she grabbed the servant beside her and asked, "Where is brother? "

"In the study." The servant saw that Xia Xueyao was furious now, and he didn't dare to stop him, so he said the answer carefully, and saw Xia Xueyao left in a rage.

Xia Xueyao went straight to the study all the way, pushed the door open with a "bang", like a cannonball knocking the door open, Xia Xiuxin straightened his back, sat upright behind the desk, saw her coming in, and gave her a cold look.

Others are afraid of him, but she is not. Xia Xueyao angrily went up to him, slapped the table directly, and asked loudly: "Why did you accept Chu Qixun's betrothal gift? Have you ever asked my opinion?!! "

Xia Xiuxin's face suddenly darkened: "I think you've gone against the sky, who allowed you to talk to me like this, it's getting more and more unruly."

Xia Xueyao was not afraid at all, she asked sharply: "You haven't answered my question yet, why did you agree to the Chu family's marriage without my consent?"

"For so many years, Chu Qixun has always had a special liking for you, and you don't know." Xia Xiuxin simply put the book on the table, with a helpless tone, judging by his posture, today's world might be turned upside down.

"Why does he like me? I'm going to marry him! I don't like him." Xia Xueyao burst into tears with anger.

"Who will you marry if you don't marry him?" Xia Xiuxin had a headache, thinking of this scene before he agreed to Chu Qixun's marriage.

Xia Xueyao said unconvinced: "Then I like Brother Sunan, and I want to marry him."

"Nonsense!" Xia Xiuxin's expression sank when he heard this, and he slapped his palm on the desk in front of him. The books, pen holder and inkstone on the table were all flicked slightly, and a palm print appeared on the book, which is enough to show his deep internal strength .

No matter how reckless Xia Xueyao was, when she saw her brother's angry look, she felt terrified, took a step back, but shouted, "How about it, can't you?"

The author has something to say: Xia Xiuxin felt his head hurt even more, and he also realized that he was too angry just now, so he closed his eyes to adjust his breathing, opened his eyes and calmly said to his sister: "Of course not, you, Brother Sunan, are mine. people."

Suddenly, Xia Xueyao's eyes turned red, as if a switch had been turned on, she began to rage, she reached out and swept the pen holder on the table down, and started the spoiling mode.

"Okay, you finally said it out, I guess you two have an unusual relationship, hum!!" Xia Xueyao sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.

"You just think I'm hindering you, so you want to drive me away, father, mother, daughter's life is so hard!!" Xia Xueyao sat on the ground, ignoring the dust on her beautiful skirt, and started crying.

Xia Xiuxin stood up angrily, went to Xia Xueyao's side, grabbed her arm with his hand and lifted it up, but he didn't move? ? ! !

"Get the hell out of here, and if you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame my family for dealing with it!!" Xia Xiu's veins bulged in a new way, and a girl's smacking like this doesn't sound like anything.

Xia Xueyao had also practiced martial arts herself, although she was not as good as her brother, how could she just mention it so casually?Hearing his words, she cried even harder.

"Okay, you go and beat me with a horsewhip, if you have the ability to beat me to death, forget it! I just said in front of the plaque of the ancestors, saying that you are shameless, not only like men, but also rob men from your sister." Xia Xueyao beat her chest and stomped her feet, she simply rolled on the ground, beating the bluestone with both hands, crying and screaming.

"Father, mother, hurry up and take this unfilial son away!!!" Xia Xueyao cried, her voice almost resounding throughout the courtyard.

When Xia Xiuxin heard what she said, a sense of gloom rose in his chest, his eyes turned red immediately, and he raised his hand to slap her on the back of the head.

Su Nan's voice suddenly came from the door: "I... Did I come at the wrong time?" Although the voice was not loud, it was like a switch. Xia Xueyao's crying stopped abruptly, and Xia Xiuxin also forced Resisting the movement of his hands, he raised his eyes and looked towards the door.

Sunan looked at the scene in front of him, Xia Xiuxin wanted to hit his sister, while Xia Xueyao was rolling on the ground, crying like a cat.Sunan was both speechless and funny, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said to Xia Xueyao who was sitting on the ground: "The clothes are dirty."

Xia Xueyao sobbed twice and got up from the ground, but her face was still full of indignation, which made people laugh.

"The clothes seem to be broken, otherwise, come to my room and I'll mend them for you?" Sunan probed.Xia Xueyao didn't speak, touched her tears and walked towards Sunan, but she didn't say hello to him, and went straight out, looking in that direction, it was really his room.

Sunan blinked at Xia Xiuxin, and communicated with him with his eyes: Then I'll leave first?

Xia Xiuxin was almost carried away by his younger sister's anger. He wished she would leave immediately, so he waved his hand impatiently, urging Sunan to go out quickly.

Su Nan backed out laughingly, and went all the way back to her room, only to find that the door of her room had already been opened. Xia Xueyao was sitting at the table with one leg up on the stool next to her, her face was flushed with anger, and she was already cold after drinking. Looking at the cold water, it doesn't look like a lady, but it looks like a bandit mountain king.

"Why are you arguing with your brother again?" Sunan walked into the room with a smile, and seeing Xia Xueyao's anger becoming a puffer fish became even more amused.He walked over and knocked her legs off the stool, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the dust on the stool, and then found another clean place to sit down.

If there is anyone in this world who is Xia Xiuxin's nemesis, it is Xia Xueyao.He has almost nothing to do with this younger sister. Xueyao knows martial arts, and she has a bad temper.To some extent, it is true that the two are biological.

In the past few years, I have gained a lot of Sunan's glory, and the wear, use, and comfort are considered to be the best. Among other things, Sunan has spent a lot of thought on makeup and clothing.Girls like to be pretty, and by virtue of their natural advantages, they got a lot of good things from Sunan. She has a good background. Under Sunan's conscious operation, Xia Xueyao's reputation as the number one beauty in the capital has risen in the capital in recent years.

"Ooooh, he's so annoying!" Xia Xueyao said angrily, annoyed her brother so much.

Sunan rubbed his nose, with a smile in his eyes, and rolled his eyes. He knew that although Xia Xueyao was already in her 20s, in ancient times, there were usually several children at this time. She was always worried about his baby sister's marriage, but Xueyao still had a childlike heart, and she had a lot of troubles with him over the years.

He didn't continue to entangle, but changed the subject and chatted about something else: "By the way, I prepared a wedding dress for you, do you want to see it?"

"What, you even prepared the wedding dress for me?!!" Xia Xueyao became even angrier when she heard this, and Sunan quickly interrupted to explain: "I have prepared this wedding dress for you since the year before last. It took over a year."

After hearing what Sunan said, the anger on Xia Xueyao's face subsided a bit, and she muttered: "What wedding dress?" She looked disgusted, but her tone couldn't hide her curiosity.

Sunan walked into the room with a smile, and dragged out a box from the storage place. The box was square, three feet long, two feet wide, about arm height, and it didn't look conspicuous.But after Sunan took out the box, he didn't open it directly, but put it on the table, and went back to get a model hanger.

The hangers are made in the shape of human figures, and this kind of hangers are also specially made by Sunan, saying that they are for better display of clothes.

Xia Xueyao looked at Sunan's next move curiously.

He opened the box, and suddenly a hazy golden light shot out from the box and printed on Sunan's face, covering him in a layer of rose-golden light.

Xia Xueyao was stunned, rubbed her eyes and thought it was a hallucination, she quickly stood up and stood beside Sunan, seeing the clothes in the box, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Sunan smiled, and took out the clothes from the box one by one. There was not only one piece of clothes in it. There were about five layers in the whole set, and he took out the clothes layer by layer and put them on the shelf. His movements were not fast, and Very gentle, it took a full quarter of an hour to arrange the clothes.

The wedding dress is divided into two parts: underwear and outerwear. The underwear is based on red, but golden light occasionally flows through the middle. It is embroidered with auspicious clouds and dark patterns. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The narrow part can better outline the woman's figure. The hem of the underwear is very fluffy, and the skirt of the underwear is embroidered with auspicious cloud pattern with rose gold thread, making this dress look quite restrained and noble.

The coat is even more extraordinary. The large coat robe is darker in color than the underwear, the cuffs are so wide that they almost fall to the ground, and the back hem is extremely long.In addition to the auspicious clouds, there is also another embroidered crane. The lifelike crane almost jumps out from the skirt.

The most eye-catching thing is the eye-catching gemstones and pearls attached to the coat. There are many kinds of gemstones. At a glance, there are green jade, white jade, ruby, sapphire and lapis lazuli, etc., arranged in a circle and spreading outward. Very graceful and luxurious.

Xia Xueyao's eyes are not blind, that white jade seems to be a very fine warm jade, she has seen the price before, the price of a small piece is 300 taels of silver? ?Just count them on the coat, there are probably dozens of them, how much does it cost?

Wait a minute, the silk thread of the clothes seems to be very familiar, she tentatively asked: "This silk thread, why does it look familiar to me? Also, this set has to..." She hadn't finished speaking yet. , was interrupted by Sunan.

"One set?" Sunan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me, this has to be a set." Then he entered the room again, then took out a smaller box, opened it , Xia Xueyao's eyes were almost blinded by the light.

The hair crown of this wedding dress can be called rich and luxurious, made of gold and precious stones, Sunan carefully held it out, put it on the wedding dress stand, and tidied it lightly, while fiddling with it, he still heard him say: " It's a pity that I'm afraid your neck can't bear it, so the style is relatively simple, and this hair crown only weighs about ten catties."

A complete wedding dress stood there quietly, like a peerless beauty, but no matter who came in, he couldn't take his eyes off it.The astonishment in Xia Xueyao's eyes was not hidden, her heart was beating wildly, no woman could bear such an impactful dress, she could almost imagine how unparalleled she would be when she put on this wedding dress.

Although she has seen the world, seeing such a wedding dress, she still couldn't help swallowing: "How much does this set cost?"

Sunan was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes to the air and began to calculate in his mind: "This crown and jewelry are not expensive, but the gemstones and pearls on it are worth a little money. If calculated according to the price of gold, it is only two or three thousand taels."

"It's just that the wedding dress below is a little more expensive. The foundation is made of gold thread made of sea silk gold, and dragon silk from Jiangnan. It is also made of mixed gemstones." Sunan smiled. With a bright smile on his face: "It's only in the early ten thousand." What he said was gold.

Xia Xueyao's legs went limp and she almost lost her footing, but fortunately she quickly grabbed the corner of the table and sat down on the stool.This sea silk gold is a thread-like object spit out by a shellfish in the sea. It is not well-known, but it is extremely precious. It was listed as a royal tribute some time ago, and it is forbidden to sell it privately.The previous price was fired to more than 30 taels of gold and only one tael of raw material was obtained.The dragon silk in the back is slightly inferior, and it is said that it is also an extremely precious cloth, and the woven cloth requires hundreds of taels of gold to buy.Isn't it necessary to use a lot of raw materials for such a large wedding dress?Not to mention the gems on the coat, saying that he is worth ten thousand taels of gold, Sunan is really not bragging.

"Hasn't Haisi Gold been listed as a tribute?" Xia Xueyao asked tentatively, and Sunan waved his hand, not caring about it: "It's okay, it's okay, I bought it before it was listed as a tribute, and according to your brother With a little bit of operation, it’s fine.” How did he know that this thing was suddenly listed as a tribute, it’s true that all good things have been taken up by the royal family.

Xia Xueyao burst into tears in her heart, her brother Sunan is really developed, otherwise how could he spend a lot of money to help her prepare the wedding dress?

Sunan looked at her with a smile: "Wow, is it pretty?"

Chick pecked at the rice and nodded frantically, Xia Xueyao's eyes were shining brightly, this wedding dress almost satisfied all women's fantasies about the wedding.

"As long as it looks good, then I'll put it away, and I'll show you anyway." Sunan said with a smile, and really started to tidy up.

Xia Xueyao:? ? ? ?

What the hell, isn't this her wedding dress?Why just show her? ? ! !

"Yes, it's your wedding dress." The smile in Mo Che's eyes grew stronger, and Sunan smiled like a fox with deep knowledge: "But don't you want to get married? So I will save this thing for you first." Let's wait until you want to marry."

Xia Xueyao: Wo grass! !How shameless to wait here for her! !

"Actually, I can give it a try. What if the size is not suitable?" Xia Xueyao was in a hurry, and rushed up to touch her. Who knew that Sunan's face suddenly darkened, and she gave her a slap: "Don't spray, If you break a thread, I will break your hand."

Xia Xueyao:! !

Xia Xueyao was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, and Sunan's face turned bright instantly. She gazed at Sunan reluctantly, watching him pick up this beautiful and gorgeous wedding dress.

Sunan carefully returned the wedding dress to the original place, and returned to the seat, watching Xia Xueyao sitting on the stool in confusion, "Now tell me, why don't you want to marry Chu Qixun?"

Xia Xueyao curled her lips. After the ups and downs just now, she didn't particularly resist Sunan's inquiry.

"I just don't want to marry." Xia Xueyao said rather childishly.

Sunan laughed and shook his head: "I know that kid in his seventies, he really likes you."

"Why does he like me and I want to marry, and I don't like him." Xia Xueyao continued to yell at Sunan with the same words she just yelled at her brother, and began to blame Chu Qixuan for a lot of problems: "He is naive and likes him." I'm jealous, and I don't know martial arts yet."

"Then who do you like?" Sunan laughed.

"I like you, Brother Sunan, please marry me." Xia Xueyao looked at him with sparkle in her eyes.

Sunan was stunned for a moment, and his smile remained unchanged: "But I don't like you."

When he said this, there was still a doting smile in his eyes. Although what he said was expected and very gentle, Xia Xueyao's eyes turned red for some reason.

Looking at those red eyes, Sunan was surprised, and then said in a playful tone, half playful and half comforting: "Hey, it's just such a little thing, why are you still crying?"

"Hmph, I don't have one." Xia Xueyao was so unconvinced that she wanted to shrink back her snot and tears, and Sunan also laughed: "Just kidding, why don't I like you? Tell me, what have you been doing in recent years?" Good thing I forgot about you? I don’t like you and can still spoil you after all these years?” Such a prodigal sister, thanks to the great fortune of the Duke’s family, can afford to support her.

Xia Xueyao was amused, and her tears were gradually withdrawn.

Sunan started the earnest inducement mode: "To be childish is to be childish only in front of the person you like, and to be jealous is only for you. It would be great if you don't know martial arts. At least you don't have to worry about domestic violence when you marry." Domestic violence is fine.

"What is domestic violence?" She tilted her head and asked.

"Um, when you guys are arguing, he might do it." Sunan explained euphemistically.

"He dares? Believe it or not, I'll beat him to death?" Xia Xueyao opened her round eyes, and slapped the table with the look of her brother.

"Hahahaha, I'm just talking casually." Sunan laughed, and began to enumerate the benefits of Chu's seven-year-old: "And I heard that the Chu family is also a family of scholars, and they don't have the sour and Confucian spirit of many Confucians. , you can be regarded as a high-marriage anyway, it is rare to meet someone who likes you so much, and someone who is in his seventies can be regarded as a dedicated person, if you marry, there will be no concubines and girls in the backyard and other bad things."

"Why are you so sure?" Xia Xueyao was not convinced, men always say one thing and do another, isn't that what her ex-fiancé was like before?He said it well, but what he did was another matter.

"He didn't dare." Sunan smiled very warmly, "Your brother will kill him, if Xiu Xin doesn't do it, I'll help you." Chu Qixun is still half of his disciple, as long as he is still alive, Chu Qixun will You have to listen to his words.

Xia Xueyao shuddered inexplicably, and rubbed her arms in doubt, wondering, why is it a bit cold in the air?

"However, I don't particularly like him." Hearing what Sunan said, Xia Xueyao seemed unable to find a reason to refute, so she could only lower her gaze and point her fingers aggrievedly.

"I don't really like you, but I still feel it." Sunan held his chin with a smile, "Think about it this way, if in the end Chu Qixun didn't like you that much and went after other women instead, wouldn't you Will be angry?"

Xia Xueyao thought hard and nodded, as if she would feel uncomfortable.

"That's right, caring is often the premise of liking." But this kind of situation is often also the inferiority of human beings. What you don't get is always a commotion, but what you get is dismissive.

"As long as we have been together for a long time, feelings can be established slowly." His words sighed, some feelings are love at first sight, and some feelings last forever. He couldn't tell which kind Xia Xueyao and Chu Qixun belonged to, but he wanted to come, Chu Qixun's picture Skinny is not too bad, facing such a handsome young master all day long, no matter how cold your heart is, it will melt one day.

Xia Xueyao hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "Then, what kind of liking do you have for my brother?"

Sunan froze for a moment, then smiled, and patted her head: "I like it."

"But that kind of liking is different, just like what I love for you, that is what a brother loves for a younger sister." So these years, he has always been very kind to Xia Xueyao, usually giving her the best makeup and the most beautiful clothes, and stuffing her from time to time. Pocket money and fun novelties.

Perhaps because Xia Xueyao's mother passed away early, the only father and elder brother who could give her the warmth of relatives were not around.In Sunan's body, she felt the warmth of her family that she had never had before, and she mistook this feeling for admiration, but it was actually just a little girl acting like a baby to her brother.

Xia Xueyao's head fell on the table, her whole body was unbelievably decadent, the atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, Su Nan didn't realize it, she was drinking tea.Suddenly, Xia Xueyao thought of something and glanced at Sunan: "Is that wedding dress really the dowry you gave me?" she confirmed cautiously.

"Of course, I gave it to you. If you don't have any money to spend someday, you can take a gem from it and spend it." Sunan said with a smile.

"Bah." Xia Xueyao disdained, such a beautiful wedding dress cost more than 1 taels of gold, and she wanted to pass it down from generation to generation.

"Then..." She hesitated: "Do you know what the dowry my brother prepared for me?" Don't make the dowry my own brother prepared for her too shabby, it would be too shameful.

Sunan was stunned, and also a little curious: "Yes, what did your brother prepare for you?"

In the second year of Yonghe, Xia Xueyao, the younger sister of Duke Wei, married the famous number one beauty in the capital, which caused an uproar in the capital at that time.

It is said that because the Holy Majesty knew that the Duke doted on his sister, he specially bestowed a luxurious phoenix chariot.On the day of the wedding, many foreigners came to watch the grand ceremony.It is less than ten miles from Guogong Mansion to Chu Mansion, surrounded by people, how can the people of the capital who love to watch the excitement miss such a lively event?A few days ago, the inn was fully booked, and even the price of flowers went up.

On the day of her wedding, the Xia Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, everyone had beaming smiles on their faces, and the servants kept walking, while Sunan was in Xia Xueyao's boudoir, helping her get dressed. Nan's hand.

When everything was ready, Xia Xueyao almost couldn't recognize herself when she looked at herself in the mirror.

The beaded curtain of the phoenix crown hangs down, half covering her stunning face.She thought happily in her heart, why didn't she find out that she was so beautiful in the past?Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and she felt that she was about to fall in love with herself.

Going out of the room, the four maids behind are holding the hem of the skirt, the sun is shining on the wedding dress, the halo of light rises, and the whole person is too dazzling.

When she left the gate of Xia Mansion, Xia Xueyao couldn't help but turn her head back.

The three words "Guogong Mansion" are hung above the head, and under the plaque, familiar faces are all staring at him.There are elder brothers who have always been cold-faced, uncle housekeepers with red eyes, and many servants who cannot be named.

It was a day of great joy, but the elder brother still had a straight face, but the reddish eyes had already revealed his heart.

Xia Xueyao was in a trance for a moment, did she get married just like that?Can I come back often in the future?

Thinking of this, Xia Xueyao's nose was also slightly sore, just when the tears in her eyes were about to burst out, Sunan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't cry, this makeup is very expensive, and the things used are hundreds of taels of silver. And wait You still have to sit in a sedan chair, so many people are looking at you, but you can’t put on makeup, it’s ugly.”

On the other hand, Xia Xueyao was taken aback when she heard the words, and all her sad emotions disappeared immediately. She quickly said to the maid next to her who was holding a fan: "Hurry up, hurry up, use the fan to dry the tears from my eyes." The maid next to her heard the words Do so quickly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the auspicious time is almost gone." After a while of urging, Xia Xueyao finally boarded the phoenix chariot.

The phoenix chariot is drawn by four tall horses, surrounded by pearl curtains to block the view, and the pearl curtain in front of her makes her true appearance faintly visible.

But this does not prevent the common people from watching the excitement, look at this posture, ten miles of red makeup, such a big battle.

Wherever the phoenix chariot passed, the people besieged in front threw out the flowers and fruits in their hands one after another, and cheered, it was extremely lively.In the tavern, there was also a storyteller who told the previous stories of this Miss Xia family to the merchants who came and went, saying that the young master of the Chu family was lucky.The former blind fiancé, the son of Zhongshu Shilang, was also pulled out for a walk, to thank him for not marrying back then.

An hour later, when the sending team arrived at the Chu Mansion, there was already a lot of waiting in front of the mansion gate. Chu Qixun, who was wearing gifts, smiled and helped his wife off the phoenix chariot.

Looking at his unparalleled wife today, Chu Qixun's eyes revealed surprise: "Xueyao, you are so beautiful today."

Xia Xueyao rolled her eyes at him through the bead curtain, her eyes were full of disgust, but then she straightened her chest.

Of course, today she is the most beautiful woman on the street!No one can steal her limelight! !

He glared at him: "My brother said that if you treat me badly in the future, he will break your leg."

When Chu Qixun heard the words, he smiled and felt aggrieved: "Look at you, this topic is brought up again, how can I treat you badly?"

(End of extra episode)
